* At the ICANN Board-CPH joint meeting, [[Donna Austin]], speaking on behalf of the [[CPH]], explained that volunteers feel disempowered and discouraged because their work is not being implemented in a reasonable timeframe, which she reminded the [[ICANN Board]], goes against the [[ICANN Bylaws]], especially for [[PDP]]s but also [[ICANN Reviews|review]] recommendations. Volunteers may not be up to taking up new work as a consequence. Maybe scoping reviews could limit the number of future recommendations. But in the CPH, concerns remain over the backlog of recommendations sitting with the board, retrospectively applied prioritization, the credibility and legitimacy of ICANN externally and internally, the addition of processes before implementation; the potential for a chilling effect on the [[ICANN Community]]; and the "[[Accountability]] of ICANN" to implement recommendations within a reasonable time frame.

** [[Matthew Shears]] said the board could offer transparency on what they're doing and that the board is very aware of the sentiment of frustration across ICANN constituencies at the backlog.

** Donna Austin responded with questions about how long implementing those recommendations will take and is it the community's responsibility to prioritize old recommendations (isn't it an issue with resource management on the part of ICANN org?)

** [[Becky Burr]] said, yes it's on the Org, and thus, the [[Planning]] department has been restructured to resolve these issues.
